This course allows students to develop the language skills acquired at (1)GCSE through the study of a more advanced range of topics, including current trends and issues in French speaking society, alongside developing an understanding of French artistic culture and political life. An A-Level in a modern language is a highly respected academic qualification. It complements many areas of study, and Economics or business- related degrees in particular. Students will acquire a range of transferable and interpersonal qualities sought by many employers. Linguists are trained to think structurally, while essay writing gives them good practice in presenting focused arguments. Many language courses involve working cooperatively in groups and making formal presentations to an audience, the sort of teamwork and presentational skills that employers are seeking.
In order to proceed automatically to the Sixth Form, a student must achieve a minimum of six (1)GCSEs at grade 6/B, and in most cases, a grade 7/A or higher in the subjects chosen to study at A-Level. A-level mathematics and Further Mathematics have higher requirements. Subjects that are new at A-Level will have requirements from (1)GCSEs that assess appropriate skills, e.g. Economics requires a grade 7 or higher in both English Language and Mathematics. Grade 7 at (1)GCSE French.
Assessment tasks will be varied and cover listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
